GN-007 Gundam Arios from the Gundam 00 Second Season, piloted by Allelujah Haptism of Celestial Being that was made into a 1/100 non-grade kit by Bandai. The Gundam Arios was preceded by the Gundam Kyrios in the second season of Gundam 00. Like the Kyrios, the Arios can transform to airplane mode which gives it speed and maneuverability superiority over its opponents.
The Kyrios was destroyed in Season 1 by the combined efforts of Soma Peries and Sergei Smirnov in the GN-X's. Which also led to the capture and imprisonment of the Allelujah. After Allelujah was rescued from "Gundam Pilot Jail" by Celestial Being in season 2, he took over the piloting of the Arios. The Arios has a support unit, the GN-Archer that is both a fighter and a mobile suit and docks with the Arios to enhance its overall capabilities. Unlike the Arios however, the GN Archer does not have its own GN drive so its range and fighting time is limited.
Bandai recently released a Designer's color version of their 1/100 Gundam Arios and the other Gundam's of Gundam 00 Second Season. The difference from the regular Arios is that the colors used were that which the designers of the Mobile Suits intended it to have as well as the it usually has a LED unit to light up parts of the model kit as well as decals for markings.
